I love playing songs from Bay Area artists that I knew personally before they blew up. I’m going to brag a bit, but I was one of the first guys to play 2Pac, Too Short, and E40 on Bay Area airwaves. #facts. Being on the radio for as many years as I have, I’ve been to hundreds of shows and concerts and at this point, I’m really into smaller shows or just kickin’ it backstage…LOL.

I am the proud father of (4) boys Dallas, Tyler, William, and Jackson. I’m also married to my beautiful wife Leticia we also have 2 old English bulldogs named appropriately Rocky & Apollo. When I’m not working on 102.9 you can find me teaching judo at Lakeridge Athletic Club in El Sobrante in the east bay. I get a kick out of passing on and teaching this amazing Japanese martial art that has taken me all over the world and provided me an opportunity to go to college at San Jose State (GOOOO SPARTANS). I’m a Bay Area Native and some of my favorite bay area events include Bay to Breakers, Fleet Week, and the Pride Parade. I’ve also never been to Alcatraz… lol.

Restaurants I love around the bay include House of Prime Rib, Gary Danko, and Ceron Kitchen in Alameda. I’m a guy from the bay area that’s been blessed in so many ways to do what I love every day and share it with my listeners. I get to meet some very cool people along the way and share some of these stories either on the radio or social media. Join me and let’s have some fun!
